The next morning, Lu Ming went to the registration area of the Emperor Dragon Guards. When he arrived, he got a shock. There was already a long queue at the registration area.
To some people from small factions, the Emperor Dragon Guards was a good job. Joining the Emperor Dragon Guards was equivalent to joining the ancient saint dynasty and they would be able to obtain more cultivation resources.
"Those below Spirit Embryo Realm, leave quickly. We don't need anyone below Spirit Embryo Realm!"
At the registration area, there were a few burly men wearing purple long robes embroidered with the picture of a flood dragon. They were the Emperor Dragon Guards.
Their auras were very strong. Lu Ming swept his gaze across and realized that they were all at the seventh level of Spirit Embryo Realm and above.
There was also an elder sitting at the side with his eyes closed. He was also wearing the uniform of the Emperor Dragon Guards but his aura was unfathomable. However, it couldn't hide from Lu Ming's senses. Lu Ming realized that this person was at the first level of Spirit God Realm.
"Only those above Spirit Embryo Realm can join. The requirement is too high. Let's go!"
Some people sighed and walked away while shaking their heads.
"Take out your identification card and report your information. We will verify it. After that, there will be a test. Because there is a limit to the number of Imperial Dragon Guards this time, there are too many people who have signed up. We can't recruit all of them. Only the strong can stay. Okay, the registration starts now!"
A burly man said.
Then, they started to register one by one.
Lu Ming waited patiently for two hours before it was his turn.
Lu Ming moved his hand and an identity token appeared. He passed it to an Emperor Dragon Guard.
This identity token was taken from Ming Lu. It was the identity token of a disciple of Black Spear Sect.
"Black Spear Sect, Ming Lu!"
Lu Ming said.
The burly man checked the identity token and registered it. "We will send people to verify your identity. If there is any falsehood, we will kill you on the spot. Do you understand?"
The burly man said with a cold gaze.
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
Lu Ming nodded his head repeatedly.
"En, wait over there. There will be a test later!"
The burly man said.
Lu Ming walked to the side and waited patiently.
After another two hours, the registration ended. There were more than two thousand people who had registered.
"Alright, come with me!"
At this moment, the old man at the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm stood up and spoke indifferently before he walked in with large strides. Lu Ming and the others followed behind him.
Soon, they arrived at a military camp.
In the middle of the military camp, there was a huge stone tablet.
"This stone tablet can test your cultivation base. All you need to do is infuse your True Qi into the stone tablet and we will know your cultivation base. There are two thousand people who signed up this time, but we only need two hundred people. Therefore, we will only accept those whose cultivation base is in the top two hundred. Now, the test begins!"
The old man announced.
After that, the applicants went up to take the test one by one.
As long as he poured his True Qi into the stone stele, the stone stele would light up, and through the light, he would be able to tell his cultivation.
Starting the test one by one, Lu Ming discovered that most of them were at the first level of Spirit Embryo Realm. Those at the second level of Spirit Embryo Realm were much lesser and those at the third level of Spirit Embryo Realm were even lesser.
Soon, it was Lu Ming's turn.
"Just in case, I'd better input a bit more Zhen Yuan!"
Lu Ming thought to himself.
Only two hundred people were accepted. To guarantee that nothing would go wrong, Lu Ming planned to input a bit more True Qi.
Walking to the stone tablet, Lu Ming pressed his hand on the stone tablet and poured his True Qi into it.
Weng!
The stone tablet shook, and seven silver lights flashed out.
"Enough!"
Lu Ming withdrew his True Qi.
Seven silver lights represented the cultivation of the seventh level of Spirit Embryo Realm.
This way, there should be nothing wrong, and he would definitely be accepted!
"Seventh level of Spirit Embryo Realm!"
The eyes of the old man at the Spirit God Realm lit up.
Those who came to sign up were usually people from small forces and their cultivation base wasn't too high. Those whose cultivation base was too high normally wouldn't join the Imperial Dragon Guards, so there weren't many who could reach the seventh level of Spirit Embryo Realm.
"Yes, not bad!"
The old man at the Spirit God Realm nodded.
The test continued.
Not long after, all the tests were completed. Lu Ming noticed that there were a total of three people who had reached the seventh level of Spirit Embryo Realm, and only one person had reached the eighth level of Spirit Embryo Realm.
This made Lu Ming rub his nose. Was his performance too outstanding?
"Alright, the test is over. Those who are ranked in the top two hundred can stay in the barracks for now. Wait for our news in a few days."
The old man at the Spirit God Realm instructed.
Those who weren't ranked in the top two hundred could only sigh and leave.
As for Lu Ming and the others, they were led to their rooms.
For the next few days, Lu Ming stayed in the barracks and cultivated while waiting for news.
Three days later, the news came that Lu Ming had been accepted and officially became a member of the Imperial Dragon Guards.
"The four of you are very good. I've temporarily arranged the position of deputy flag bearer for you. If you perform well in the future, it won't be a problem for you to be promoted. Also, the positions that you need to guard have been arranged. Someone will inform you in a while!"
After the old man at the Spirit God Realm finished his announcement, he gave each of them a token that represented a deputy flag bearer.
The 'flag' in the Imperial Dragon Guards had the meaning of an official position.
A flag had five hundred people. The main flag could command five hundred Imperial Dragon Guards, and the deputy flag bearers weren't small either.
This was because their cultivations were profound. No matter where they were, strength represented everything.
Not long after, someone delivered the robes that represented the Imperial Dragon Guards to Lu Ming and also delivered the news of the positions that they needed to guard.
Naturally, the four deputy flags were separated from each other.
"The guards of the eighth prince!"
Lu Ming's gaze moved. His temporary duty was to be the eighth prince's guard.
This made Lu Ming's eyes slightly strange. Because according to what he knew, wasn't the eighth prince Xie Zhen?
Wasn't it Xie Zhen who had gone to Nine Dragons City and taken away Xie Nianqing?
"What a coincidence. I can inquire about Xiao Qing from Xie Zhen!"
The corner of Lu Ming's mouth rose into a smile.
Of the two hundred people that had joined together, there were still thirty people that were with Lu Ming. They were all the eighth prince's guards.
Not long after, a skinny man in his forties came and stood in front of Lu Ming and the others.
"I'm your general. My name is Shi Fang. In the future, you will follow me. Now, follow me to the eighth prince's mansion!"
The skinny man's gaze swept over them, especially stopping on Lu Ming's body. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
'This Shi Fang seems to be hostile to me, but this is the first time I've seen him. Strange!'
Lu Ming slightly frowned as he thought to himself.
The eighth prince's mansion was very spacious in the inner city. It was like a villa with a radius of a hundred miles.
The Imperial Dragon Guards couldn't directly enter the eighth prince's mansion. They had to live in a military camp outside the mansion.
In the military camp outside the eighth prince's mansion, Lu Ming and the others gathered. Shi Fang stood on a high platform, looking down at them with a cold expression.
"I'll tell you some things now. The first thing to do in the Imperial Dragon Guards is to obey orders and protect the safety of the Imperial Family with your life!
"Also, I'll tell you that there are many experts in the Imperial Dragon Guards. Some of you shouldn't be complacent just because you have some strength. There are many experts in the Imperial Dragon Guards who are stronger than you. Any one of them can suppress you. Do you understand?"
